==Overview:==
This unusual mech has been spotted at the NAIS weapons testing facility, which
is unusual due to it officially being manufactured by Archerner Battlemechs.
The main theory is that it might have been designed as a test bed for
experimental weapons and electronics, but an alternate theory has spring up
based upon its seeming physical similarities to the Mackie. 

The Balrog has been confirmed as boasting both a RAC/5 and a Gauss Rifle,
giving it a great deal of firepower. Two medium lasers and a large provide
protection at closer ranges, and an ECM helps to sheild it. Two A-pods serve
to discourage infantry from getting too close, as to twin RL 10s. 

But the heart of this appears to be a C3 Master unit, suggesting that the
Federated Suns intend to expand their personal use of the C3 network. 

==Variants:==
A second version has been seen which has a flamer instead of the head-mounted
medium laser. While this appears to be largely psychological (based on the
name), it also helps the mech defend against infantry.
